Now, the language of the amendment certainly does not expressly apply to a vice-presidential candidate. But other constitutional provisions guarantee that the Vice President becomes President upon the death, incapacity, impeachment, or resignation of the President. Thus, if a two-term President like Bill Clinton became Vice President, that would raise the specter of a possible third Clinton Presidential term -- a specter which would become a reality if any of these unfortunate events were to befall a President Kerry. Some might argue that, as a result, a Clinton Vice-Presidency (and that of any two-term President) would be unconstitutional

Yes, but that is exactly what the debate is about.
It says nothing about being elected to vice-president. So that would seem perfectly legal.
And if the president died, Clinton would not be "elected" as president, he would simply succeed him. There is nothing that states that is unconstitutional.
I say let him run with Hil in 08.
